They probably chose so many basic switch options because they were cheap. They bought these switches specifically for the mystery switches and selling to us at $0.15 per switch is pretty cheap which means they got them even cheaper from the manufacturer. These were all probably old stock the manus had sitting around.

The reason the mystery packs were so good last time is because they were moving warehouses and needed to clear their own inventory.

I am aware of what the term “in-stock” means and I didn’t say they should be labeled as “in-stock” (although technically if an item is available to buy in a non-keyboard store it is considered in-stock)

The point is that while technically the stock is “limited” I’d wager some of these vendors are ordering thousands of extras. The term “limited stock” in this particular case is used to encourage you to buy it before it “sells out” and is no longer available. Most of the GMK extras I’ve seen in the last year don’t sell out quickly.

I can’t even say they sell out quickly due to the quantity vendors are ordering. NovelKeys still has Space Cadet 2 which has been out for almost a year now and it even went on sale for $99 one weekend. “Limited stock” is a FOMO term they use to make you impulse buy
